Back in April, Dark Horse Comics announced it was turning George Lucas' original Star Wars rough-draft sceenplay into an eight-issue series. On Thursday, we finally got a look at what the new comics will have to offer thanks to a new book trailer. The comics, like the old screenplay, are called The Star Wars. And, surprisingly, Luke Skywalker is a general this go around and he looks a lot like George Lucas, with a head of white hair and a matching beard.

Annikin Starkiller is the hero . . . Luke Skywalker is a wizened Jedi general . . . Han Solo is a big green alien . . . and the Sith are still the bad guys.

The new series will hit comic shops and DarkHorse.com on September 4th.
